As best I can find it's an art installation in Wisconsin.

I know some skaters are daredevils but I think this would be too much for even them to try. You'd need a huge downhill to first get enough speed to make the loop, then you'd have to hop like 3+ feet up onto the fairly narrow tabletop at the perfect moment while already going crazy fast. Not to mention how tight the loop is (but you can't really tell in the OP, I only saw that in the thing I linked).

Like, I've been watching a lot of Andy Anderson vids lately, and he's great and all, but ain't no way

Yeah, taking the loop would be suicide, but I was thinking more of doing tricks off the odd angles.

Thanks for the info (and the science lesson).
